Plane ran out of gas before landing on U.S. 441
Placeholder Image
A single-engine Cessna plane that had to make an emergency landing on U.S. 441 in Commerce on Sunday morning appears to have run out of gas. Pilot Donald Moffett was flying the airplane with an adult, August Curcio, and two juvenile passengers aboard from Charleston, S.C., to Gainesville when he began experiencing engine trouble. Moffett, unable to make it to the Jackson County Airport, landed the plane on the highway and rolled to a stop in the turn lane of W.E. King Road.
